Jeremiah 50
1 This is the word that Yahweh declared about Babylon, the land of the Chaldeans, by the hand of Jeremiah the prophet,
| النُّبُوءَةُ الَّتِي قَضَى بِها الرَّبُّ عَلَى بَابِلَ وَعَلَى بِلادِ الْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ عَلَى لِسَانِ إِرْمِيَا النَّبِيِّ: | ١ |
2 “Report to the nations and cause them to listen. Lift up a signal and cause them to listen. Do not conceal it. Say, 'Babylon is taken. Bel is made ashamed. Marduk is dismayed. Its idols are put to shame; its images are dismayed.'
| «أَذِيعُوا بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ، وَأَعْلِنُوا. انْصِبُوا الرَّايَةَ وَخَبِّرُوا. لَا تَكْتُمُوا. قُولُوا: قَدْ تَمَّ الاسْتِيْلاءُ عَلَى بَابِلَ وَلَحِقَ بِبِيلَ الْعَارُ وَتَحَطَّمَ مَرُودَخُ. خَرِبَتْ أَصْنَامُهَا وَانْسَحَقَتْ أَوْثَانُهَا. | ٢ |
3 A nation from the north will arise against it, and make her land a desolation. No one will live in it; both man and beast will flee away.
| لأَنَّ أُمَّةً مِنَ الشِّمَالِ قَدْ زَحَفَتْ عَلَيْهَا لِتَجْعَلَ أَرْضَهَا مَهْجُورَةً. شَرَدَ مِنْهَا النَّاسُ وَالْبَهَائِمُ جَمِيعاً. | ٣ |
4 In those days and at that time—this is Yahweh's declaration—the people of Israel and the people of Judah will come together to go with weeping and seek Yahweh their God.
| وَفِي تِلْكَ الأَيَّامِ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ، يَتَوَافَدُ أَبْنَاءُ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَأَبْنَاءُ يَهُوذَا مَعاً. يَبْكُونَ فِي سَيْرِهِمْ وَيَلْتَمِسُونَ الرَّبَّ إِلَهَهُمْ. | ٤ |
5 They will ask the way to Zion and will set off toward it, saying, We will go and join ourselves to Yahweh in an everlasting covenant that will not be forgotten.”
| يَسْأَلُونَ عَنِ الطَّرِيقِ إِلَى صِهْيَوْنَ، وَيَتَوَجَّهُونَ إِلَيْهَا قَائِلِينَ: هَلُمَّ نَنْضَمُّ إِلَى الرَّبِّ بِعَهْدٍ أَبَدِيٍّ لَا يُنْسَى. | ٥ |
6 My people have been a lost flock. Their shepherds have led them astray in the mountains; they have turned them around from hill to hill. They went, they forgot the place where they had lived.
| إِنَّ شَعْبِي كَغَنَمٍ ضَالَّةٍ، أَضَلَّهُمْ رُعَاتُهُمْ، وَشَرَّدُوهُمْ عَلَى الْجِبَالِ، فَتَاهُوا مَا بَيْنَ الْجَبَلِ وَالتَّلِّ وَنَسَوْا مَرْبَضِهُمْ. | ٦ |
7 Everyone who went out to them devoured them. Their adversaries said, 'We are not guilty, because they sinned against Yahweh, their true home—Yahweh, the hope of their ancestors.'
| كُلُّ مَنْ وَجَدَهُمُ افْتَرَسَهُمْ، وَقَالَ أَعْدَاؤُهُمْ: لَا ذَنْبَ عَلَيْنَا لأَنَّهُمْ هُمُ الَّذِينَ أَخْطَأُوا فِي حَقِّ الرَّبِّ الَّذِي هُوَ مَلاذُهُمُ الْحَقُّ، وَرَجَاءُ آبَائِهِمْ. | ٧ |
8 Leave from the midst of Babylon; go out from the land of the Chaldeans; be like male goats that leave before the rest of the flock does.
| اهْرُبُوا مِنْ وَسَطِ بَابِلَ وَاخْرُجُوا مِنْ دِيَارِ الْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ وَكُونُوا كَالتُّيُوسِ أَمَامَ قَطِيعِ الْغَنَمِ. | ٨ |
9 For see, I am about to set in motion and raise up a group of great nations from the north against Babylon. They will arrange themselves against her. Babylon will be captured from there. Their arrows are like a skilled warrior who does not return empty-handed.
| فَهَا أَنَا أُثِيرُ وَأَجْلِبُ عَلَى بَابِلَ حُشُودَ أُمَمٍ عَظِيمَةٍ مِنْ أَرْضِ الشِّمَالِ فَيَصْطَفُّونَ عَلَيْهَا، وَيَسْتَوْلُونَ عَلَيْهَا مِنَ الشِّمَالِ، وَتَكُونُ سِهَامُهُمْ كَجَبَّارٍ مُتَمَرِّسٍ لَا يَرْجِعُ فَارِغاً، | ٩ |
10 Chaldea will become plunder. All those who plunder it will be satisfied—this is Yahweh's declaration.
| فَتُصْبِحُ أَرْضُ الْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ غَنِيمَةً، وَكُلُّ مَنْ يَسْلُبُهَا يُتْخَمُ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ. | ١٠ |
11 You rejoice, you celebrate the plundering of my inheritance; you jump around like a calf stamping in its pasture; you neigh like a powerful horse.
| لأَنَّكُمْ تَبْتَهِجُونَ وَتَطْفُرُونَ غِبْطَةً يَا نَاهِبِي شَعْبِي، وَتَمْرَحُونَ كَعِجْلَةٍ فَوْقَ الْعُشْبِ وَتَصْهِلُونَ كَالْخَيْلِ. | ١١ |
12 So your mother will be greatly ashamed; the one who bore you will be embarrassed. See, she will be the least of nations, a wilderness, a dry land, and a desert.
| فَإِنَّ أُمَّكُمْ قَدْ لَحِقَهَا الْخِزْيُ الشَّدِيدُ وَانْتَابَهَا الْخَجَلُ. هَا هِيَ تُضْحِي أَقَلَّ الشُّعُوبِ، وَأَرْضُهَا تَصِيرُ قَفْراً جَافّاً وَصَحْرَاءَ. | ١٢ |
13 Because of Yahweh's anger, Babylon will not be inhabited, but will be a complete devastation. Everyone who passes by will shudder because of Babylon and will hiss because all of its wounds.
| وَتَظَلُّ بِأَسْرِهَا مَهْجُورَةً وَخَرِبَةً، كُلُّ مَنْ يَمُرُّ بِبَابِلَ يُصِيبُهُ الذُّعْرُ وَيَصْفَرُ دَهْشَةً لِمَا ابْتُلِيَتْ بِهِ مِنْ نَكْبَاتٍ، لأَنَّهَا أَثَارَتْ غَضَبَ الرَّبِّ. | ١٣ |
14 Arrange yourselves against Babylon all around her. Everyone who bends a bow must shoot at her. Do not keep back any of your arrows, for she has sinned against Yahweh.
| اصْطَفُّوا عَلَى بَابِلَ مِنْ كُلِّ نَاحِيَةٍ يَا جَمِيعَ مُوَتِّرِي الأَقْوَاسِ. ارْمُوا السِّهَامَ وَلا تُبْقُوا مِنْهَا سَهْماً وَاحِداً، لأَنَّهَا قَدْ أَخْطَأَتْ فِي حَقِّ الرَّبِّ. | ١٤ |
15 Raise a shout against her all around! She has surrendered; her towers have fallen; her walls are torn down, for this is Yahweh's vengeance. Take vengeance on her! Do to her just as she has done!
| أَطْلِقُوا هُتَافَ الْحَرْبِ عَلَيْهَا مِنْ كُلِّ جَانِبٍ، فَقَدِ اسْتَسْلَمَتْ وَانْهَارَتْ أُسُسُهَا، وَتَقَوَّضَتْ أَسْوَارُهَا، لأَنَّ هَذَا هُوَ انْتِقَامُ الرَّبِّ، فَاثْأَرُوا مِنْهَا، وَعَامِلُوهَا بِمِثْلِ مَا عَامَلَتْكُمْ. | ١٥ |
16 Destroy both the farmer who sows seed and the one who uses a sickle at the time of harvest in Babylon. Let each person turn back to his own people from the oppressor's sword; let them flee to their own land.
| اسْتَأْصِلُوا الزَّارِعَ مِنْ بَابِلَ وَالْحَاصِدَ بِالْمِنْجَلِ فِي مَوْسِمِ الْحَصَادِ إِذْ يَرْجِعُ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ إِلَى قَوْمِهِ، وَيَهْرُبُ إِلَى أَرْضِهِ فِرَاراً مِنْ سَيْفِ الْعَاتِي. | ١٦ |
17 Israel is a sheep scattered and driven away by lions. First the king of Assyria devoured him; then after this, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon broke his bones.
| إِسْرَائِيلُ قَطِيعُ غَنَمٍ مُتَشَتِّتٌ، طَرَدَتْهُ الأُسُودُ. كَانَ مَلِكُ أَشُّورَ أَوَّلَ مَنِ افْتَرَسَهُ، وَنَبُوخَذْنَصَّرُ آخِرَ مَنْ هَشَّمَ عِظَامَهُ. | ١٧ |
18 Therefore Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel, says this: See, I am about to punish the king of Babylon and his land, just as I punished the king of Assyria.
| لِذَلِكَ هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: هَا أَنَا أُعَاقِبُ مَلِكَ بَابِلَ وَأَرْضَهُ. كَمَا عَاقَبْتُ مَلِكَ أَشُّورَ مِنْ قَبْلُ. | ١٨ |
19 I will restore Israel to his homeland; he will graze on Carmel and Bashan. Then he will be satisfied in the hill country of Ephraim and Gilead.
| وَأَرُدُّ إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى مَرْتَعِهِ، فَيَرْعَى فِي الْكَرْمَلِ وَفِي بَاشَانَ، وَتَشْبَعُ نَفْسُهُ فِي جَبَلِ أَفْرَايِمَ وَجِلْعَادَ. | ١٩ |
20 In those days and at that time, says Yahweh, iniquity will be looked for in Israel, but none will be found. I will inquire about the sins of Judah, but none will be found, for I will forgive the remnant that I spare.”
| وَفِي ذَلِكَ الزَّمَانِ وَالأَوَانِ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ، يُلْتَمَسُ إِثْمُ إِسْرَائِيلَ فَلا يُوْجَدُ، وَخَطِيئَةُ يَهُوذَا فَلا تَكُونُ، لأَنِّي أَعْفُو عَمَّنْ أَبْقَيْتُهُ مِنْهُمَا. | ٢٠ |
21 “Arise against the land of Merathaim, against it and the ones inhabiting Pekod. Put them to the sword and set them apart for destruction—this is Yahweh's declaration—do everything that I am commanding you.
| ازْحَفْ عَلَى أَرْضِ مِيَراثَايِمَ (وَمَعْنَاهُ: الْمُفْرِطُ فِي التَّمَرُّدِ)، وَعَلَى الْمُقِيمِينَ فِي فَقُودَ (وَمَعْنَاهُ: الْعِقَابُ). خَرِّبْ، وَدَمِّرْ وَرَاءَهُمْ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ وَافْعَلْ كُلَّ مَا آمُرُكَ بِهِ. | ٢١ |
22 The sounds of battle and enormous destruction are in the land.
| قَدْ عَلَتْ جَلَبَةُ الْقِتَالِ فِي الأَرْضِ. صَوْتُ تَحْطِيمٍ عَظِيمٍ. | ٢٢ |
23 How the hammer of all the lands has been cut apart and destroyed. How Babylon has become a destroyed place among the nations.
| كَيْفَ تَكَسَّرَتْ وَتَحَطَّمَتْ بَابِلُ، مِطْرَقَةُ الأَرْضِ كُلِّهَا؟ كَيْفَ أَصْبَحَتْ بَابِلُ مَثَارَ دَهْشَةٍ عِنْدَ الأُمَمِ؟ | ٢٣ |
24 I have set a trap for you and you were taken, Babylon, and you did not know it! You were found and captured, because you opposed Yahweh.
| قَدْ نَصَبْتُ الشَّرَكَ فَوَقَعْتِ فِيهِ، يَا بَابِلُ، مِنْ غَيرِ أَنْ تَشْعُرِي بِهِ. قَدْ وُجِدْتِ وَقُبِضَ عَلَيْكِ، لأَنَّكِ خَاصَمْتِ الرَّبَّ. | ٢٤ |
25 Yahweh has opened his armory and is bringing out the weapons for carrying out his anger. There is work for the Lord Yahweh of hosts in the land of the Chaldeans.
| قَدْ فَتَحَ الرَّبُّ مَخْزَنَ سِلاحِهِ، وَأَخْرَجَ آلاتِ سُخْطِهِ، لأَنَّهُ مَا بَرِحَ لِلسَّيِّدِ الرَّبِّ الْقَدِيرِ عَمَلٌ يُنْجِزُهُ فِي دِيَارِ الْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ. | ٢٥ |
26 Attack her from far away. Open her granaries and pile her up like heaps of grain. Set her apart for destruction. Leave no remnant of her.
| ازْحَفُوا عَلَيْهَا مِنْ أَقَاصِي الأَرْضِ، وَافْتَحُوا أَهْرَاءَهَا، وَكَوِّمُوهَا أَعْرَاماً وَاقْضُوا عَلَيْهَا قَاطِبَةً وَلا تَتْرُكُوا مِنْهَا بَقِيَّةً. | ٢٦ |
27 Kill all her bulls. Send them down to the place of slaughter. Woe to them, for their day has come—the time for their punishment.
| اذْبَحُوا جَمِيعَ ثِيرَانِهَا، أَحْضِرُوهَا لِلذَّبْحِ. وَيْلٌ لَهُمْ لأَنَّ يَوْمَ مَوْعِدِ عِقَابِهِمْ قَدْ حَانَ. | ٢٧ |
28 There is the sound of those fleeing, of those who are survivors, from the land of Babylon. These will report the vengeance of Yahweh our God for Zion, and vengeance for his temple.”
| اسْمَعُوا! هَا جَلَبَةُ الْفَارِّينَ النَّاجِينَ مِنْ دِيَارِ بَابِلَ لِكَيْ يُذِيعُوا فِي صِهْيَوْنَ أَنْبَاءَ انْتِقَامِ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا وَالثَّأْرِ لِهَيْكَلِهِ. | ٢٨ |
29 “Summon the archers against Babylon—all those who bend their bows. Camp against her, and let no one escape. Repay her for what she has done. Do to her by the measure she has used. For she had defied Yahweh, the Holy One of Israel.
| اسْتَدْعُوا إِلَى بَابِلَ رُمَاةَ السِّهَامِ، جَمِيعَ مُوَتِّرِي الْقِسِيِّ. عَسْكِرُوا حَوْلَهَا فَلا يُفْلِتَ مِنْهَا أَحَدٌ. جَازُوهَا بِمُقْتَضَى أَعْمَالِهَا، وَاصْنَعُوا بِها كَمَا صَنَعَتْ بِكُمْ، لأَنَّهَا بَغَتْ عَلَى الرَّبِّ قُدُّوسِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٢٩ |
30 So her young men will fall in the city squares, and all her fighting men will be destroyed on that day —this is Yahweh's declaration.”
| لِذَلِكَ يُصْرَعُ شُبَّانُهَا فِي سَاحَاتِهَا، وَيَبِيدُ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ جَمِيعُ جُنُودِهَا، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ. | ٣٠ |
31 “See, I am against you, proud one—this is the declaration of the Lord Yahweh of hosts— for your day has come, proud one, the time when I will punish you.
| هَا أَنَا أُقَاوِمُكِ أَيَّتُهَا الْمُتَغَطْرِسَةُ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ، لأَنَّ يَوْمَ إِدَانَتِكِ وَتَنْفِيذِ الْعِقَابِ فِيكِ قَدْ حَانَ، | ٣١ |
32 So the proud ones will stumble and fall. No one will raise them up. I will light a fire in their cities; it will devour everything around him.
| فَيَتَعَثَّرُ الْمُتَغَطْرِسُ وَيَكْبُو وَلا يُوْجَدُ مَنْ يُنْهِضُهُ، وَأُضْرِمُ نَاراً فِي مُدُنِهِ فَتَلْتَهِمُ مَا حَوْلَهُ». | ٣٢ |
33 Yahweh of hosts says this: The people of Israel are oppressed, together with the people of Judah. All the ones who captured them still hold them; they refuse to let them go.
| وَهَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ: «قَدْ وَقَعَ الظُّلْمُ عَلَى شَعْبِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَعَلَى شَعْبِ يَهُوذَا، وَجَمِيعُ الَّذِينَ سَبَوْهُمْ تَشَبَّثُوا بِهِمْ وَأَبَوْا أَنْ يُطْلِقُوهُمْ. | ٣٣ |
34 The one who rescues them is strong. Yahweh of hosts is his name. He will truly plead their case, in order to bring rest to the land, and to bring strife to the ones inhabiting Babylon.
| غَيْرَ أَنَّ فَادِيَهُمْ قَوِيٌّ، الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ اسْمُهُ، وَهُوَ حَتْماً يُدَافِعُ عَنْ قَضِيَّتِهِمْ لِكَيْ يُشِيعَ رَاحَةً فِي الأَرْضِ وَيُقْلِقَ أَهْلَ بَابِلَ. | ٣٤ |
35 A sword is against the Chaldeans—this is Yahweh's declaration— and against the inhabitants of Babylon, her leaders, and her wise men.
| هَا سَيْفٌ عَلَى الْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ»، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ، «وَعَلَى أَهْلِ بَابِلَ، وَعَلَى أَشْرَافِهَا، وَعَلَى حُكَمَائِهَا. | ٣٥ |
36 A sword against those who say empty words! They will become fools! A sword against her soldiers! They will be filled with terror.
| هَا سَيْفٌ عَلَى عَرَّافِيهَا، فَيُصْبِحُونَ حَمْقَى. وَهَا سَيْفٌ عَلَى مُحَارِبِيهَا، فَيَمْتَلِئُونَ رُعْباً. | ٣٦ |
37 A sword is coming against their horses, their chariots and all of the people who are in the midst of Babylon, so they will become like women. A sword is coming against her storerooms, and they will be plundered.
| هَا سَيْفٌ عَلَى خَيْلِهَا، وَعَلَى مَرْكَبَاتِهَا، وَعَلَى فِرَقِ مُرْتَزَقَتِهَا، فَيَصِيرُونَ كَالنِّسَاءِ. هَا سَيْفٌ عَلَى كُنُوزِهَا فَتُنْهَبُ. | ٣٧ |
38 A drought is coming on her waters, so they will become dry. For she is a land of worthless idols, and they act like people made insane by their dreadful idols.
| هَا الْحَرُّ عَلَى مِيَاهِهَا فَيُصِيبُهَا الْجَفَافُ لأَنَّهَا أَرْضُ أَصْنَامٍ، وَقَدْ أُولِعَ أَهْلُهَا بِالأَوْثَانِ. | ٣٨ |
39 So desert beasts with the jackals will inhabit there, and the young of ostriches will live in her. For all time, she will no longer be inhabited. From generation to generation, she will not be lived in.
| لِذَلِكَ يَسْكُنُهَا وَحْشُ الْقَفْرِ مَعَ بَنَاتِ آوَى، وَتَأْوِي إِلَيْهَا رِعَالُ النَّعَامِ، وَتَظَلُّ مَهْجُورَةً إِلَى الأَبَدِ، غَيْرَ آهِلَةٍ بِالسُّكَّانِ إِلَى مَدَى الدَّهْرِ. | ٣٩ |
40 Just as God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah and their neighbors—this is Yahweh's declaration— no one will live there; no person will stay in her.”
| وَكَمَا قَلَبَ اللهُ سَدُومَ وَعَمُورَةَ وَمَا جَاوَرَهُمَا، هَكَذَا لَنْ يَسْكُنَ فِيهَا أَحَدٌ أَوْ يُقِيمَ فِيهَا إِنْسَانٌ». | ٤٠ |
41 “See, a people is coming from the north; a great nation and many kings are being stirred up from the farthest parts of the earth.
| هَا شَعْبٌ مُقْبِلٌ مِنَ الشِّمَالِ، أُمَّةٌ عَظِيمَةٌ وَلَفِيفٌ مِنَ الْمُلُوكِ قَدْ هَبُّوا مِنْ أَقَاصِي الأَرْضِ. | ٤١ |
42 They will pick up bows and spears. They are cruel and have no compassion. Their sound is like the sea roar, and they are riding on horses, set out in order as men for battle, against you, daughter of Babylon.
| يُمْسِكُونَ بِالْقِسِيِّ وَيَتَقَلَّدُونَ بِالرِّمَاحِ. قُسَاةٌ لَا يَعْرِفُونَ الرَّحْمَةَ، جَلَبَتُهُمْ كَهَدِيرِ الْبَحْرِ، يَمْتَطُونَ الْخَيْلَ وَقَدِ اصْطَفُّوا كَرَجُلٍ وَاحِدٍ لِمُحَارَبَتِكِ يَا بِنْتَ بَابِلَ. | ٤٢ |
43 The king of Babylon heard the reports about them and his hands fell limp in distress. Anguish seized him like a woman giving birth.
| قَدْ بَلَغَ خَبَرُهُمْ مَلِكَ بَابِلَ فَاسْتَرْخَتْ يَدُهُ وَانْتَابَتْهُ الضِّيقَةُ وَوَجَعُ امْرَأَةٍ فِي مَخَاضِهَا. | ٤٣ |
44 Behold! He goes up like a lion from the heights of the Jordan to the enduring grazing place For I will quickly cause them to run from it, and I will put someone who will be chosen in charge of it. For who is like me, and who will summon me? What shepherd is able to resist me?
| انْظُرْ، هَا هُوَ يَنْقَضُّ عَلَيْهَا كَمَا يَنْقَضُّ أَسَدٌ مِنْ أَجَمَاتِ نَهْرِ الأُرْدُنِّ، هَكَذَا وَفِي لَحْظَةٍ أَطْرُدُهُمْ مِنْهَا، وَأُوَلِّي عَلَيْهَا مَنْ أَخْتَارُهُ لأَنَّهُ مَنْ هُوَ نَظِيرِي؟ وَمَنْ يُحَاكِمُنِي؟ وَأَيُّ رَاعٍ يَقْوَى عَلَى مُوَاجَهَتِي؟ | ٤٤ |
45 So listen to the plans that Yahweh has decided against Babylon, the plans that he has planned against the land of the Chaldeans. They will certainly be dragged away, even the smallest flock. Their pasturelands will be turned into ruined places.
| لِذَلِكَ اسْمَعُوا مَا خَطَّطَهُ الرَّبُّ ضِدَّ بَابِلَ، وَمَا دَبَّرَهُ ضِدَّ دِيَارِ الْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ. هَا صِغَارُهُمْ يُجَرُّونَ جَرّاً، وَيَخْرِبُ مَسَاكِنَهُمْ عَلَيْهِمْ. | ٤٥ |
46 At the sound of conquered Babylon the earth shakes, and their shout of distress is heard among the nations.”
| مِنْ دَوِيِّ أَصْدَاءِ سُقُوطِ بَابِلَ تَرْجُفُ الأَرْضُ، وَيَتَرَدَّدُ صُرَاخُهَا بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ. | ٤٦ |
